Photobloc Blog – Canvas Prints

Archive for February, 2010

There are many ways in which to enhance your images before we proceed to canvas printing, these can be stunning visual treats and are numerous, but here are just some of the filters we can apply.

We can add a grained effect ranging from a wood finish, textile effect, stone grain and various paper finishes, to name but a few.

We can apply artistic effects that basically change your image into such art forms as watercolour, pallet knife, air brush, crayon, etc. Thus a standard photograph becomes an original piece of art, either in a contempory form or in a more traditional style.

By altering the colours we can change the image to traditional black & white, classical sepia or modern tints of a specified colour, the options really are countless.

By gaussian blurring the background but then using a careful application of the history brush the background can be softened to give greater attention to the main subject. This is especially useful when the background is confussed or not important to the visual story you are trying to create with your canvas prints.

Having decided to have your treasured images printed onto canvas what style of edge will you go for?

We can wrap the image around the front board and then set it into the front of the frame so that the frame shows, this realy is about enjoying the natural beauty of the wood and how it can compliment your image.

These are available in a choice of three:-
Toscana – a dark, rich chocolate brown with a high gloss finish.
Nearly Black – a semi-transparent black stain with a matt finish.
Pine – a pale, translucent golden pine with a satin finish.

Alternatively we can wrap the canvas print around the whole frame with the image on the front face and the sides in a choice of three styles:-
Solid black printed canvas.
Solid white printed canvas.
Gallery wrap – a small section from each edge is cloned, flipped into reverse and then stretched back over that edge as a coloured reflection.

So much to choose from and all are available to enhance your home or office with your own choice of images each presented as a canvas print to your specification.
